Ramona, CA – Fatal Traffic Collision on Highway 78

Ramona, CA (December 25, 2018) On the morning of December 24^th, a fatal traffic collision happened along Highway 78 near West Haverford Road. According to the reports, a Toyota Camry headed west on the highway when it veered off and overcorrected. The Camry crossed into the opposite lane and crashed head-on into a Dodge Ram truck. When emergency responders arrived, they found four people injured and a young child dead. They airlifted one of the other children to Children’s Hospital in San Diego due to major injuries. They transported the two adults in the Toyota and the driver of the pickup truck to a nearby hospital for moderate injuries. The accident is currently under investigation.

We are sad to hear that a child lost their life in this accident and that four people are suffering from major injuries. We send our condolences to the child’s family and hope all injured parties heal quickly from their injuries.

Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies have proven that year after year most vehicle accidents are caused by negligent driving, which includes conversing with passengers, disciplining children, driving under the influence, speeding, and more. When drivers partake in distracting activities, most of the time they don’t intentionally mean to put themselves and others in harm’s way. However, thousands of people still lose their lives every year due to seemingly minute distractions.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine why the Toyota veered into the opposite lane of oncoming traffic. Because there were two adults and two children in the car, it’s likely that distracted driving could have been the cause. Other contributing factors could have been mechanical issues or hazardous road conditions. Once the police conclude their findings, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits along with a wrongful death lawsuit will be filed.
